:star:ATTENTION! ATTENTION!:star:
DUE TO A VARIETY OF REASONS, THE DEADLINE FOR ALL CONTRIBUTIONS HAS BEEN CHANGED TO AUGUST 1ST, 2010!





I am organizing a collab-book, which will be published through Lulu and sold online. The book will feature artwork, poetry and prose. All profit from this book will be donated to the ASPCA (American Society For The Prevention of Cruelty To Animals).

This collab-book will be published through Lulu and will be sold online. The book will most likely be a soft-cover book and will be sold for around $20-$25. In order to be able to publish the book, we need to fill at least 48 pages, so please tell as many people as you can about this project and send deviants who may be interested into participating over to this journal. Also, please advertise this project in your own DA journals/blogs, so we can get the word out!

To participate in this collab-book, you must contribute either a piece of artwork, a short story (1-10 pages), or a poem featuring animals and which also follows the guidelines below. Send all your files to jessieq.artwork@gmail.com. All files must be emailed in by AUGUST 1ST, 2010.

Any deviant can contribute!

Sprechen Sie mit mir auf Deutsch! Ich mag die Praxis.
:iconcaliypsoe:
By the way, you should publish this as a news article.

:iconjessieq:
Er... I don't know how to do that.
Do you, by any chance? Haha.
:iconjessieq:
Great!

Well, the distant deadline is more for me than anyone else. Haha. In the middle of August, I'm moving to a new apartment, so I figure it's going to be hectic and I won't be up to organizing anything -- let alone drawing anything.
:iconcaliypsoe:
Yup. :)

Go here --> [link] and on the right hand side is a button: "Submit News" It's just like submitting a deviation after that.

Sign me up!

A few questions:
-Is photography included?
-Can we submit more than one piece?
-And can the stories/poems be personal? (i.e. for a specific pet?)

I'll post this to my journal as well! :D
